The Karen Millen Poplin Pleated Midi Dress is an architectural, formal garment designed for women who appreciate sculptural tailoring and sophisticated silhouettes. Featuring a structured, corseted bodice with vertical pleating and a voluminous drop-waist skirt, this piece offers a dramatic and elegant look suitable for upscale occasions. While its refined design delivers a high-fashion aesthetic, the structured nature of the poplin fabric means it requires careful maintenance to preserve its precise pleating and tailored shape.

The dress has an approximate midi length of 130cm, typically falling below the knee.
The dress is made from structured poplin, which provides minimal stretch, offering a fitted and architectural silhouette.
Due to the complex pleating and structure, professional dry cleaning is recommended to ensure the dress maintains its shape and crisp lines.
The construction includes internal tailoring to support the bodice; please refer to the side or back seam for the concealed closure.
The ruched waist and drop-waist skirt are designed to highlight a defined waistline and provide a sculptural drape.
Gently steam the affected areas with a hand-held garment steamer while holding the fabric taut to restore the original pleat lines.
Lightly iron on the reverse side using a cool setting, ensuring you do not flatten the structured pleats on the bodice.
To keep the dress in pristine condition, it is essential to store it on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the bodice pleats from crushing or distorting. Given the structured nature of the poplin, always refer to the garment's internal care label for specific washing instructions, as professional dry cleaning is often recommended to preserve the integrity of the pleating. If laundering at home, avoid wringing the fabric, as this can permanently alter the pleat pattern. Pair this dress with minimal heels to keep the focus on the architectural details of the garment.
